Together towards greener shipping

We provide our customers several ways to reduce emissions of their sea transports and a portal for emission tracking. 

Virtual Arrival - reduce emissions up to 25% without extra cost

Virtual Arrival provides a completely free way to reduce your transport emissions up to 25% in a single sea leg. After a completed voyage, we provide you a calculation of saved bunker and emissions.

The basic idea of Virtual Arrival is to reduce a vessel’s speed to meet revised arrival time if it is known that the berth will not be free on arrival. Regardless of the actual arrival time, the vessel still retains its place in the line-up based on the arrival time in normal service speed.

Switch to renewable marine fuel  - available across the fleet today

The renewable diesel we use is known as Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO). This advanced biofuel significantly reduces well-to-wake (WTW) CO2e emissions by up to 90%. HVO meets the criteria established by FuelEU Maritime, EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), and Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) regulations, ensuring compliance with European environmental standards.

HVO is widely accessible at numerous ports across Europe, making it a convenient choice for maritime operations. It is produced from waste oil streams and residues, such as waste vegetable oils, ensuring that no oils from the food chain are used in its manufacture. 

Moreover, HVO is suitable for use in all of our vessels, offering a versatile and eco-friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels.

Combine biogas and renewable marine diesel for zero-emission shipping

Our LNG-powered vessels, Viikki and Haaga, are the most energy-efficient in our fleet and are fully compatible with using 100% renewable liquefied biogas as the main fuel.  LBG reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 85 per cent compared to fossil fuels. 

By combining liquefied biogas and 100% renewable HVO as a pilot fuel, these ecosmart vessels can achieve zero tank-to-wake emissions.

Viikki and Haaga are the demonstration how we are able to achieve significant emissions reductions per cargo ton meeting already today IMO’s -50% target for 2050. The use of LNG combined to numerous other energy saving measures results over 50% less CO2-emissions compared to previous vessel generation.
